Hi, i'm having a problem, don't know if i bricked my console, upgraded from 3.55 kmeaw qa active, no errors except when i tried to run games none worked, tried to reinstall, corrupted data error then as a dumbass removed hdd formatted put it back and tried again... same error different code now doesn't have a software to run and doesn't allow me to install, is it bricked or can i do something?

Thanks.. Note i'm talking about 4.30 rogero cfw

i believe you need a hardware flasher, and reflash your original flash dump check out the forum for ps3 unbricking and downgrading services. theres smart people in there that will be able to guide you or even do it for you (safer and cheaper)
